    V4L/DVB (5146): Make VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER ioctls no longer internal only · 52ebc763
    Trent Piepho authored
    The direct register access ioctls were defined as kernel internal only,
    but they are very useful for debugging hardware from userspace and are
    used as such.  Officially export them.
    
    VIDIOC_INT_[SG]_REGISTER is renamed to VIDIOC_DBG_[SG]_REGISTER 
    Definition of ioctl and struct v4l2_register is moved from v4l2-common.h 
    to videodev2.h.
    
    Types used in struct v4l2_register are changed to the userspace 
    exportable versions (u32 -> __u32, etc). 
    
    Use of VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN permission, so move 
    the check into the video_ioctl2() dispatcher so it doesn't need to be 
    duplicated in each driver's call-back function. CAP_SYS_ADMIN check is 
    added to pvrusb2 (which doesn't use video_ioctl2).
